This above sentence in English makes no sense and would not be said.  I tried to think of alternate ways of saying it, maintaining the integrity of the sentence.  Here a couple examples:

We're going to help you, and make (sure) you pass this exam with no difficulty.

Perhaps someone else could provide a better solution?

I'm having a tough time knowing when to use the simple past and when to use the imperfect. Could someone walk me through the sentence below and help me understand why we use the different tenses?

It is quite fascinating - and interesting - to learn some of the "nicknames" given to people who live in certain cities - here: Huesca > oscenses. A few of them cannot easily be guessed, such as Huelva > onubenses.

Hello, May I ask when to use donde vives and de donde eres? how to use it and what's the difference? hehe. We have a Spanish subject and I was thought that my answer in donde vives is where my house is located. On the other hand, my municipality is the answer in the question de donde eres.

How do you use the above expression ,how is it conjugated?  For example, how would I say " the situation got out of hand " ? Where does "alguien" come into it? Thank you
